$0.50 per extra GB seems high, especially for a storage-intensive app. Given the cost of cloud Object Storage services it doesn't seem to make much sense.

Examples of alternatives for managed Postgres:

* Supabase is $0.125 per GB

* DigitalOcean managed Postgres is ~$0.35 per GB

I really wish I could use DO, but unless something has changed recently, they don't support delta backups, which is a deal killer for me.

For small startups, my DR/HA plan is hourly delta snapshots of the whole volume.

GCP, AWS and Azure all make this possible.

SUpabase runs on AWS so they are either losing a ton of money, have some amazing deal with AWS, or the $0.50 is inaccurate.

I'd have to check with the team but I'm 80% sure we're on gp3 ($0.08/GB-month).

That said, we have a very generous free tier. With AWS we have an enterprise plan + savings plan + reserved instances. Not all of these affect EBS pricing, but we end up paying a lot less than the average AWS user due to our high-usage.
